Back Then

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

I've loved you for so long that it's hard for me to change
And I know since you're not here there's some things to rearrange
But I keep hoping that someday you might come back again
And I want everything to be the way it was back then

Back then our love would start through the kiss and morning coffee
Good morning darling did you sleep all right
Back then my day was made with a mem'ry of your loving
And a promise that you'll be loving me tonight

It's so strange what can happen how the good things can go wrong
Like one day you were with me the next day you were gone
But a million golden memories can't bring you back again
I trade them all to change things to the way they were back then

Back then our love would start through the kiss and morning coffee...

Tell Me Again

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

Tell me again how I'll soon forget you
And won't even think of your name
But this time go slow for I want to know
Just how it is that I will lose this pain

Tell me again how there'll be another
And how that someone will take your place
Then tell me the part what to do with a heart
That still loves you yes tell me again

Tell me again how I'll no longer see you
Tossing sleeplessly through each night
Or when my mem'ry strays to a favorite day
When the world was ours and everything was right

Tell me again how I'll make it without you
And how I'll have time on my side
Then tell me the part what to do with a heart
That still loves you yes tell me again

My Chance For Happiness

Jan Crutchfield

© Dixie Jane Music, BMI

These arms of mine will have no one to cling to
These lips of mine will have no one to kiss
And now my life will be one long day of sorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness

He needed me how many times he told me
Just thought that he'd keep hangin' on I guess
I took my time now my time run down tomorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness

My chance for happiness once was right here in my hands
But now the chance is gone he's made some other plans

This heart of mine deserves the hurt it's going through
I should have known I had the very best
So let my life just be one long day of sorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness

Another Lonely Night

Jan Crutchfield - Larry Butler

© Dixie Jane Music, BMI

Cryin' in the darkness cause I'm goin' through another lonely night
Waiting till the mornin' brings you home
Tryin' to believe you cause you say each time you're gonna treat me right
And I'll never spend another night alone

So I'll take another chance with you
Though I know exactly what you'll do
You'll be gone until the morning light
Leavin' me another lonely night
[ instrumental ]
Every creakin' sound I hear makes me sit up and cry out is that you
But the echo of my voice is all I hear
When I reach the point of givin' up I hear your key unlock the door
And the eyes that ask forgiveness and the voice that says I love you seems sincere

So I'll take another chance with you...

Leavin' me another lonely night
Leavin' me another lonely night

Color My World

Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent

© Welbeck Music, ASCAP

You'll never see the dark clouds hanging round me
Now there's only blue sky to surround me
There's never been a grey day since you found me
Everything I touch is turning to gold

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day
Or you can color my world with happiness all the way
Just take the grey from the clouds and the blue from the sky up above
And if you color my world just paint it with your love
Just color my world

Just as long as I know you're picking of me
There'll be a rainbow always up above me
Since I found the one who really loves me
Everything I touch is turning to gold

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day...

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day
Or you can color my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you color my world just paint it with your love
Just color my world hmm hmm

Sunshine yellow orange blossom happy faces everywhere la la la

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day...
Color my world color my world hmm

Tiny Drops Of Water

Ruby VanNoy - Ann Burns - Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

There's something on my cheek I've never felt before
And they arrived when you walked out the door
You have just confirmed all my fears
With these tiny drops of water they call tears

Tiny drops of water streaming from my eyes
My lips are still warm from your kiss
When I realized your love for me had died
I cried tiny drops of water they call tears

A million lonely nights I know I'll cry for you
I wonder if you know what I'll be goin' through
With nothing left but loneliness and fears
And these tiny drops of water they call tears

Tiny drops of water streaming from my eyes...
I cried tiny drops of water they call tears

(Loving You Is) Sunshine

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

Sunshine loving you is sunshine
You make the dark clouds go away
Sunshine having you is sunshine
Your love's my sunshine everyday

When things go wrong they don't stay wrong too long
You always know what's right for me
When I feel down you bring your love around
And darling your sweet kiss can set me free

Sunshine loving you is sunshine...
[ instrumental ]
When drops of rain beat on my window pane
You have a way to make things right
I lose my cares sittin' in a cozy chair
With your loving arms holdin' me tight

Sunshine loving you is sunshine...
Sunshine loving you is sunshine...

Let Me Be Your Queen

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

I've got just one month to live and I'll live it for you
I've got just one love to give and I'll give it to you
You're in all my hopes my plans and my every dream
Let me show you what love can do let me be your queen

When you need someone beside you won't you let it be me
Or a loving hand to guide you please let it be me
You're in all my hopes my plans and my every dream
Let me show you what love can do let me be your queen

Let me be the one that you'll depend on
Let a little cozy cottage be our shining throne
In a kingdom made for love I'll fulfill your dreams
Let me show you what love can do let me be your queen
Let me be your queen

Whatever Happened To Happiness

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

That look of love is no longer in your eyes
We've lost that magic when we touch
For me you once said that you'd live or die
Now a goodnight kiss is asking too much

Whatever happened to happiness
The good days when we were blessed
The love is gone we once possessed
Whatever happened to happiness

As I lie next to you in our bed at night
Hoping that you'll just touch my hand
Wondering what I can do to make things right
Trying my best to understand

Whose fault it is that things have gone this far
Is it that we just haven't tried
Is there no way to find a brand new start
For happy times with us side by side

Whatever happened to happiness...
Whatever happened to happiness...

Whatever happened to happiness
Whatever happened to happiness

Love's Old Song

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

I'm singing love's old song the one that when things go wrong
Makes you happy makes you feel fine
I'm singing love's old song the melody lingers on
Forever now that you're mine

The one that tells how much I love you
The one that tells how darling there'll never be anyone above you
I'm singing love's old song together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[ instrumental ]
I'm singing love's old song I'll keep on singing as long
As you hold me every night and day
I'm singing love's old song it seems to carry me on
Forever in every way

The one that tells how much I love you...
It's heaven loving with you
